I've called this place multiple times to inquire about ping pong table rental for a company event and the calls have gone straight to voicemail without ringing nor has anyone returned my messages. Avoid this place for organizing corporate gatherings. read more

Love the place! Cute little store type setup in north beach. They've been running the place for 18 years. They have one ping pong table that you can call and reserve. It's $10 per person per hour. They also do classes for $70 per session which is pretty reasonable. The cute store upfront has a bunch of snacks. Cash is preferred. The lady running the store Amanda is very sweet and enthusiastic, and you can also text to make reservations. It's truly a small business that's hole in the wall and significantly cheaper than fancier places like spin. read more

This place is charming because it is a Chinese business. They have 2 ping pong tables and my friend and I got one for an hour. $5 each person. Lots of ping pong balls, but I warn you, they will get stuck in parts of the room that are impossible to retrieve from. I liked playing ping pong here, but it's better to play for free of course. They have paddles to use. They have snacks and Chinese school kids go there to have snacks after school. They have 10 tables at a school on the weekend or something. It's an interesting business. read more

Lots of goods that are at great prices. Have snacks and food. Plus they have ping pong.

Who's up for Table Tennis?! This place is awesome. It's small and sometimes both their tables are taken. But you can always call ahead to make a reservation. This place has one ping pong table and a robot table. For the robot, you basically pay by the time you want to play. For tables are very cheap. The store also offers all kinds of equipment for table tennis and I believe it is also a distributor of robot table tennis. You may have walked by there some time and noticed a bunch of kids playing during a tournament or after school. Don't be put off by it. Just call ahead or go during school hours. It's lots of fun. read more

Neat little table tennis shop tucked away in the heart of North Beach. I signed up for the 10 private-lessons package and it has been a lot of fun and I can see my game improving. They also do tournaments at the Salvation Army everyday Wednesday. read more

Came here for a company team event. It's a fantastic value, but once you arrive you'll see why - the ping pong center is located in the back of a convenience store. The store sells lots of great ping pong accessories, including blades and rubber, as well as food and drink. The tables are nice, but in relatively small quarters with insufficient room for a true ping pong match. They also lack a bathroom for customers. I'll be back, but I wouldn't schedule any team outings here. read more

For a shop that specializes in selling ping pong equipment (and ROBOTS), this is a small, yet legit shop (4 stars) For a place for those to come to play recreational ping pong or having team events, you may be better off going to any corporate tech office that has more space or wait until Spin opens up in SOMA. As some other Yelp reviews mentioned, there are 2 tables behind a convenience store that doesn't allow for much space if you're a serious ping pong player and need to back up for defensive shots. It also doesn't have the luxuries of someone picking up your balls like how Spin does. The lack of bathrooms and limited drink selection also hurts. (2 stars) If you're looking for lessons or to hit with a robot, it looked like the place is set up appropriately. We came and saw 2 lessons being given and it looks like the staff was pretty hands on. That said, I can't comment on how good the quality was of the lessons. read more

An excellent brick & mortar store for the table tennis enthusiast! I decided to visit this place on a whim as in downtown SF and just wanted to see their inventory as well as some kids playing on the table. Unfortunately when I went in, no one was playing. The shop is small, but with an extensive variety of gear. From pre-assembled rackets to custom high end, they have it all. The owner, a very friendly woman who is also a table tennis coach was very helpful in assisting me with the purchase a new racket. The prices are a bit more expensive than purchasing online (not by much though), but you get very friendly and informative service. Worth every dollar I think. I'm looking forward to my next visit. read more

Finally made it down here to try out their robot. I love this place! Try renting 30 mins on the AMDT robot in oscillation mode. It is one serious workout. $1150. Yeah, a fair amount of coin for the robot. But when you consider what it is capable of (no-spin balls using dual-wheel head), it actually is a flippin bargain! I want one, arggghh! They carry a full inventory of pro table tennis gear for the serious player as well as starter stuff. But clearly, they cater towards those who play table tennis, not ping pong. Sorry beer pong players. No dixie cups for sale here. read more

I tried to hire AMDT to deliver a rental ping pong table for my wedding reception. I set things up several months in advance, my card was charged, and I got email receipts. When I tried to check in close to the event, though, I never heard back. And on the day of the event, they were nowhere to be found. read more

I've been taking ping pong coaching lessons at AMDT for about two months now. I'm an aspiring ping pong player who has participated in 3 tournaments. I decided to up my game by taking ping pong lessons from coach Amanda. I must say, the lessons were very effective. She corrected my hand movements and body posture. When in a ping pong match, my movements are very fluid. I highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to improve their game. They also have a good selection of ping pong equipment. read more

The only real Ping Pong shop in SF, with a great Joola table in the back. Great place to re-up on cleaners, buy new rubber, blades, etc. Support your local Table Tennis shop and help keep the dream alive! read more

Place is small but they have pretty much any ping pong hardware u need. Price is reasonable. But parking is problem.

Awesome! I bought a paddle here and have had some lessons. The paddle I got was set up by Amy, the owner of the shop. She is a nationally ranked ping pong player and knows what she is doing. I learned a lot from the lessons I got and drastically improved my ping pong skills. read more

This place is pretty great. Its a really small hidden shop that specializes in table tennis. Terrible name, almost kept me from going and understanding what they do. They have a ton of equipment and a table there that you can rent time with the robot. It may be the only place of its kind in SF. read more

Typical china town store. Bought some smoke bombs and snapper things here before. A O kay.

top notch! we rented a table from AMDT Ping Pong for our ping pong demo before the screening of our documentary, Top Spin. the table was in excellent shape and delivery was right on time. Amanda and her team went out of their way to make our event a huge success. we're very grateful and highly recommend them for all your ping pong needs. read more

Very disappointed in this facility. Web site shows ten tables and large facility. In reality this facility only available on Wednesday evening. The rest of the time two tables are crowded into a small room. When we called the discrepancy was not pointed out. read more

I went there for the first time yesterday, and I was completely surprised to find so much in the store. It's a ping pong player's heaven. The man who served me was very courteous. I am happy that I found this place. read more

Terrible service. When I arrived at this place it was still closed at 12:30 pm. There were a couple guys standing outside wondering the same thing...CLOSED? Unfortunately we waited a few minutes until we saw through the window someone roaming around in the back. We banged on the door until he let us in. He definitely doesn't speak one word of English and knew even less about ping pong. What a way to run a business. This place really SUCKS and besides the other two guys who went in with me we will never go back to this place again. read more
